    ❤️ WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE

    • It is simple to make.
    • Nicely fulfills cravings for peanut butter.
    • Simple and affordable 6 ingredients.
    • The taste and texture are out of this world!

    📝 INGREDIENTS

    Butter - Making great-tasting cookies requires good-quality butter. I have used unsalted.

    Peanut butter - I went for the smooth textured peanut butter; it works best in this recipe.

    Confectioner's sugar - To make melt-in-your-mouth cookies, confectioner's sugar or powdered sugar is best.

    Vanilla - I think vanilla flavor goes well with peanut butter, but you can omit it.

    All-purpose flour - I always use all-purpose flour in my baking, be it cookies, bread, or cakes, but you can use cake flour for a softer texture.

    Salt - Yes, adding salt to your baked goods enhances the flavor, so do not skip it.

    Jam - I have used strawberry jam. You can go for what you prefer, and you can also skip it.

    👩🏽‍🍳 PRO TIPS

    • Preheat the oven for 20 to 30 minutes before using it unless the recipe mentions otherwise.
    • Do not use melted butter; it should be soft but not melting.
    • Margarine or shortening will not work in this recipe.
    • When using natural peanut butter, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before forming the balls.

    📋 VARIATIONS

    • You can sprinkle some crushed peanuts over the jam before serving.
